Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba (my father is not at peace)

Ngahlangana nomfo' kasibiya
(I met up sibiya yesterday)
Wathi "we-jonathan, angiphathekile mina
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ubaba ongasekho inkomo yakhe
(I dream of my late pointing at his ox)
engitshela ethi "wemfana wami
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma kulomhlaba wemfana wami
(on the day I away and leave this earth)
ukungifihla ngebokisi (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
Wemfana
(my boy)
Awungebesa ngesikhumba emhlophe, wemfana wami
(you should bury me in the skin of a white ox, my boy)
Awungihambisa emhlophe
(you should send me on my last by means of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!
(the ox, the ox of my father....)

Akalele ubaba
(father is not at at home)
Akafuni ibokisi, inkomo
(he not want a coffin, he wants an ox)
Akalele ekhaya
(father is not at home)
Washo mfokasibiya wathi "jonathan lana
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
Ngokushona kwenzeka isimanga
(on the day my died a most unfortunate thing happened)
Abantu bomndeni babethi
(our family thought would give hima great sendoff)
Bamfihla engalifuni
(and buried him in a coffin, knowing he did not want this)
Saxabana sodwa bomndeni (x2)
(we fought ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngoba mina bayasithela ngebadi
(we because I said they had done something which would bring great
Misfortune)
Benkunzima ngelelolanga ubaba
(it was the day we buried my father)
ngelelolanga
(it was that day)

Ubaba ekhaya, ugudla isibaya
(father is not at at home, his spirit wanders around the cattle
Enclosure)
lakhe selimbophile
(it imprisoned by the coffin)
Ufuna isikhumba yakhe (x2)
(his spirit wants to be accompanied by his ox)
